To develop a transport system for the future, we bring together local government, transport expertise and mana whenua perspectives.
Bringing together our programme partners
Let’s Get Wellington Moving is a joint initiative between:
- Wellington City Council (WCC)
- Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC), and
- Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
These organisations are supported by our mana whenua partners Taranaki Whānui ki Te Upoko o Te Ika and Ngāti Toa Rangatira.
Our role is to provide a way to work together, so the decisions we make are balanced and consider what else is going on in the city and region. As a group, we discuss each project, agree the best way forward and make sure it's delivered.
Our focus is all the ways we get to and around our city, and how the city develops alongside its transport system.
How we work together
We work with our programme partners through our Governance Reference Group and Partnership Board.
